50 G.O.P. Officials Warn Donald Trump Would Put Nation’s Security ‘at Risk’

New york times ^ | 8/8/2016 | DAVID E. SANGER and MAGGIE HABERMAN

[darkness78]

Fifty of the nation’s most senior Republican national security officials, many of them former top aides or cabinet members for President George W. Bush, have signed a letter declaring that Donald J. Trump “lacks the character, values and experience” to be president and “would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being.”

[LeoWindhorse]

make a list

all these treacherous a-holes need to be noted , while they are out of the closet , and remembered

[nikos1121]

This is great. These @sshats don’t realize that they’re creating a mythological Trump that the world will fear.

Love it.

[Byron_the_Aussie]

I don’t have to click the link to imagine the Supercucks on that list.

[ComputerGuy]

Irrelevance makes for bruised egos.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Where were these clowns when Obama was running?

[Ronin]

Another batch of establishment turds that see the end of their gravy train days.

[Fresh Wind]

The same mindset that assured us that we had nothing to fear from an Obama presidency is now saying the same thing about a Hillary presidency.

Why do they even bother to call themselves “Republicans”?

[darkness78]

“...many of them former top aides or cabinet members for President George W. Bush”

[fieldmarshaldj]

No surprise, as these folks pushed a leftist agenda under Dubya and paved the way for Zero. Trump is flushing these traitors out in the open.

[littleharbour]

All of them bitter at not having the opportunity to be insiders in the regime of President Jeb

Each of the "Treasonous 50" has been EXPOSED
backing al QAEDA and ISIS
against America, Americans, and the US Constitution.

Obama and Clinton Armed ISIS in Syria

Hillary Clinton Directed Weapon Transfer to al Qaeda

Hillary Clinton Got Wealthy By Arming ISIS Militants
Assange told Democracy Now that Clinton was director of French company Lafarge
whilst simultaneously serving her term as Secretary of State.
Lafarge attempted to topple President Assad by arming ISIS
and supporting their efforts in destabilizing the country.
Daily Pakistan reports: “Hillary’s hacked emails include info
on Hillary arming the rebels in Syria – which ultimately
became the Islamic State militant group ,” he went on to say while responding to a query.

Lafarge also has close ties to Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Apart from being a regular donor to the Clinton Foundation,
Clinton herself was a director of Lafarge in the early 1990s,
and did legal work for the firm in the 1980s.
During her connection to Lafarge, the firm was implicated
in facilitating a CIA-backed covert arms export network to Saddam Hussein.
An investigative report by the French daily Le Monde
revealed in June that the corporation, the world’s leader in construction materials,
had paid taxes to ISIS middlemen, as well as other armed groups in Syria,
to protect its cement business operations in the country.
But the Le Monde story only covered a fraction of the revelations.
Previous investigations by Zaman al-Wasl, an independent news outlet
run by elements of the Syrian opposition, revealed that Lafarge
had even regularly bought oil from Isis.

US Navy Seal Murdered In Secret Mission to Iran

Iranian scientist gives info to US on Iran nuke program,
Hillary reveals it emails and Iran hangs him for treason

Clinton and Turkish Mutiny

Huma Abedin (Hillary’s long-time aide) giving
Gulen follower direct access to Clinton staff and favor.

Clinton's private server held emails about Iranian nuclear 'spy' who was executed today

Seddique Mateen- Who is that man in the White Mosque
and who attends to Hillary’s events???

Seddique Mateen, father and teacher of murderers acceptable to the DNC and White Mosque.

[Enchante]

Trump has indicted their leadership, judgment, and lack of expertise, so they are striking back.

Screw them, I hope none of them ever darken public office again.

[OttawaFreeper]

So what do they think of the Orlando shooter’s father being at Hillary’s rally?

[Fresh Wind]

I’ve actually heard of maybe 5 of the names on the list. The rest are pretty obscure GOPe apparatchiks.

[fieldmarshaldj]

You can inflict more damage from within as a leftist Republican. After they’re done working their magic under a GOP regime, the Dems pick up the baton and double-down on that failed, radical agenda.

[exDemMom]

So, the only evidence they have that Trump is dangerous is that he “lacks the character, values and experience” to be president, and “would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being”?

That description fits Obama to a T. It also fits Hillary.

There is no actual “meat” there—they can point to no specific policy which Trump has proposed that would actually be dangerous. I suggest these “critics” of Trump read Hillary’s platform, or look at Obama’s current plans—they both want to increase the importation of Middle Eastern refugees. Their policies could only be more dangerous if they decided to arm these refugees when they let them in!

So these braindead GOP’ers think Hillary (third term Boobamba) has the “values, character, and experience” to be president?

Hillary’s handling of state secrets “never put our country’s national security and well-being at risk?”

And besides, Boobamba knew NOTHING about her activities at state.

[virgil]

That may be it. It may be just about egos. The thought that large swathes of the population rejects their views really gets them bent up.
